In Morgestraich, the artist Clément Cogitore pays tribute to the Basel carnival, an event he attends during his childhood.
At four o'clock in the morning, as all the lights of the city go out, bands of musicians parade down the street among the crowd to the sound of pipeaus and drums. This particular moment differs from other carnivals by its contemplative, ironic and lugubrious dimension that would be rooted in the tradition of macabre dance and medieval processions against epidemics. Deploying out of time and space this procession that marks the passage from winter to spring and from death to life, the work of Clément Cogitore questions these secular rituals that connect the community in uncertain times.

Created in 1967 on the initiative of André Malraux and Marcel Landowski, the Orchestre de Paris succeeds the Société des concerts du Conservatoire, the first French symphonic formation, born in 1828 to defend the composers of the time: Beethoven, Schubert, Berlioz and Mendelssohn. After Charles Munch, first musical director, great conductors succeeded each other at the head of the Orchestra: Herbert von Karajan, Sir George Solti, Daniel Barenboim, Semyon Bychkov, Christoph von Dohnányi, Christoph Eschenbach, until Paavo Järvi and Daniel Harding in the autumn of 2016\. The Orchestre de Paris brings together 119 permanent musicians and 260 singers in the Orchestra’s choir. The Orchestre de Paris offers a vast repertoire ranging from symphonic works to opera and contemporary creation. The Orchestre de Paris is currently in residence at the Philharmonie de Paris.
